Step-by-step explanation:

remember the basic trigonometry setup ?

the norm circle (radius = 1) with a horizontal and a vertical line through the center of the circle.

and then there is an angle at the center indicated by the horizontal line and an inclined (by that angle) radius line connecting the center and the circle arc.

this inclined radius line is then the baseline (Hypotenuse) of a right-angled triangle, and the legs of that triangle are sine and cosine of the angle at the center (sine is the vertical leg, cosine is the vertical leg).

in essence (at least it works for me), when given such right-angled triangle problems, I always try to rotate and/or flip this triangle until it looks like the described situation above.

the only other thing to remember is that for triangles inside circles with a different radius than 1, everything is multiplied by the actual radius (it really happens also for the norm circle, but multiplying by 1 does not really change anything, right ?).

so, now for the given problems :

1)

x is the radius of the circle.

we can make 68° the defining angle of that trigonometric situation. so, the top right vertex would be the center of the circle with radius x.

then

30 = cos(68)×x

x = 30/cos(68)

= 80.08401488...

2)

60 is the radius of the circle.

x is the defining angle.

then

15 = sin(x)×60

sin(x) = 15/60 = 1/4

x = 14.47751219...°

3)

x is the radius of the circle.

22° is the defining angle.

then

14 = cos(22)×x

x = 14/cos(22)

= 15.0994864...

4)

the unnamed side is the radius of the circle. let's call it "s".

54° is the defining angle.

then

47 = cos(54)×s

x = sin(54)×s

x/47 = sin(54)×s / (cos(54)×s) = sin(54)/cos(54) = tan(54)

x = 47×tan(54) or 47×sin(54)/cos(54)

= 64.68995026...

5)

14 is the radius of the circle.

41° is the defining angle.

then

x = sin(41)×14

= 9.184826406...

6)

the unnamed side is the radius of the circle. let's call it "s".

x is the defining angle.

then

57 = cos(x)×s

9 = sin(x)×s

9/57 = sin(x)×s / (cos(x)×s) = sin(x)/cos(x) = tan(x)

x = 8.972626615...°

In ΔXYZ, x = 8.3 meters, y = 9 meters, and z = 15 meters. Find the remaining measurements of the triangle, and round your answer
laila [671]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. ∠X = 28.6°, ∠Y = 31.2°, ∠Z = 120.2°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's recall that for solving a SSS triangle, we :

1. Use the Law of Cosines first to calculate one of the angles

2. Use The Law of Cosines again to find another angle

3. Finally use angles of a triangle add to 180° to find the last angle.

1. Cos x = (9² + 15² - 8.3²/2 * 9 * 15)

Cos x = (81 + 225 - 68.89/270)

Cos x = 0.878

x = Cos ⁻¹ (0.878)

x = 28.6° (rounding to the next tenth)

2. Cos y = (8.3² + 15² - 9²/2 * 8.3 * 15)

Cos y = (68.89 + 225 - 81/249)

Cos y = 0.855

x = Cos ⁻¹ (0.855)

x = 31.2° (rounding to the next tenth)

3. z = 180 - 31.2 - 28.6

z = 120.2°

<u>The correct answer is B. ∠X = 28.6°, ∠Y = 31.2°, ∠Z = 120.2°</u>

Simplify the expression. Write the answer using scientific notation.
Neko [114]
We are given with two distances: 5,880,000,000,000 miles and 15.8 light-years. we convert first the light-years distance through the speed of light : 3 x 108 m/s. v = d/t; d = 3x10 8 m/s * 15.8 light years * 31536000 s = 1.4948 x1017 m = 9.28829 x 1013 miles. The difference thus is 8.70029 x 1013 miles

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower, and a sample of 800 such sunflower seeds is randomly select
ollegr [7]

Answer:

12.08

Step-by-step explanation:

For each sunflower, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it germinates, or it does not. The probability of a sunflower germinating is independent of other sunflowers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

Seventy-six percent of sunflower seeds will germinate into a flower

This means that p = 0.76

Samples of 800:

This means that n = 800

The standard deviation for the number of sunflower seeds that will germinate in such samples of size 800 is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{800*0.76*0.24} = 12.08
